The institutions of the American economy depend on the institutions of American democracy; rule of law, consistent regulation, stability, and all the rest. That’s what’s being destroyed and that’s what risks the *entire economy. Saying that out loud shouldn’t (and can’t) be a risk

This is insanely idiotic of course but also comes a few days after “being aligned with protests I don’t like gets you deported” so treating it as only idiotic is probably ill-advised.

If this becomes precedent, NOBODY will be safe. Undocumented, visa, green card, or fourth-generation citizen. ICE is currently detaining tourists who are TRYING to leave the US and get back home; they have plenty of room to detain dissenters.

Why would any Senate Dem vote for the CR, now that Rubio has confirmed that Trump-Musk will simply cancel congressionally-authorized funding they don't like? That's a vote to neuter yourselves. On the pod, Tom Malinowski is great on why Dems can't bail out Trump: newrepublic.com/article/1925...
